'Again I say unto you,
That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven.
For where two or three are gathered together in My Name,
there am I in the midst of them.
(Mat 18:19-20)
Oh God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Our Father - in Him,
We thank you that where two or three are gathered together in your name, there you are in the midst of them, and that to bless: and we pray for this assembly in Uganda, in the Mubende district, and pray for Emma too, that their needs will be met. We thank you that you already know their needs, and that You will supply it bountifully, for you delight to bless.
May the gospel of Your grace resound from that roofing and fill that building with praise and adoration, and that Your Name will be honoured in the midst of them, for your name and glory's sake.
May they know You to be their strength and shield, and grow in grace and truth and in the knowledge of You, as they read Your Word, and receive the truth concerning Your Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. May they become mature in Him, and may they have the confidence and assurance that comes with understanding. That they may be strengthened with might in Your Spirit, that Christ may dwell in their hearts by faith, that they, being rooted and grounded in love, may with all saints know, what is the length and breadth and depth and height, and know the love of Christ that passes knowledge, that they might be filled with all Your fulness, Father.
We pray for them physically, mentally and spiritually, and pray that like a thorn bush in the wilderness, they will be surrounded by your loving protection and care, and be kept, as with a garrison of soldiers from all that could harm them.
We pray this,
In Christ Jesus
our risen and glorified
Saviour, Lord and Head.
Chris
